An introduction to Biomarkers[edit | edit source]
The Biomarkers Definitions Working Group defines biomarkers (biological markers) as ‘‘a measurable indicator of some biological state or condition that is objectively measured and evaluated to examine normal biological processes, pathogenic processes, or pharmacologic responses to a therapeutic intervention.’’ Biomarkers could be a used as a diagnostic tool, disease staging tool, prognostic tool, or for predicting and monitoring the clinical response to an intervention.[1] Biomarkers can have molecular, histological, radiographical, or physiological characteristics.[2]
Biomarkers and Parkinson's disease[edit | edit source]
Based on their characteristics, biomarkers of Parkinson's disease (PD) can be classified into 8 major categories[3]:
- Clinical
- Morphological
- Biophysical
- Physiological
- Pathological
- Biochemical
- Genetic
- Immunological
1. Clinical Biomarkers[edit | edit source]
Motor features of PD[edit | edit source]
These include cardinal signs of PD which are resting tremors, bradykinesia or akinesia, rigidity (of lead-pipe or cogwheel variety), and postural instability.
Non-motor features of PD[edit | edit source]
These include idiopathic rapid eye movement (REM) behavior disorder [characterized by the loss of atonia in REM], diminished or absence of olfaction (impaired very early during the course of the disease; also it is important to note that despite not being specific to PD, it is relatively uncommon in those with secondary Parkinsonism), and constipation (again being non-specific to PD in isolation, but its presence in combination with loss of olfaction and neuroimaging can allow for a more informed diagnosis of PD).
All the above can be identified/quantified using clinical rating scales such as Hoehn and Yahr scale (H&Y), Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), Non-Motor Symptoms Scale for Parkinson's Disease (NMSS), and The Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39).
